EA GameShow now web playable
April 19, 2008 by pastapadre
Yesterday EA GameShow launched a flash version to go along with the downloadable version which has been available since October. That means you’re now able to play GameShow online without having to download the program. It can be launched directly from the official website. I haven’t yet been able to test it out to see if it is as responsive and as fully featured as the downloadable version.
This is another in a string of updates to the very addictive live interactive trivia game and there is a lot more in the works. While they have concentrated mostly on upgrading the functionality and look in previous updates (lighter CPU requirements, adding text chat and 360 controller support, improving avatar options) they will be attempting to address other areas in future ones (such as the 6X Chicken powerup being the only one worth using).
As has been the case all along they continue to actively seek feedback. You can leave your thoughts in the thread on the GameShow forum or here in the comments and I can pass them along. For anyone new to GameShow check out all of my articles on it by visiting the tag page.
Hey pasta! Does EA own you?

a while back i tried to play it but the program wouldnt load on my computer so this is good news
I’ve been waiting a while to be able to play this. Finally!!
Still not working for the Mac. I really wanted to try this as well.
Never mind, works on Firefox when you have the correct flash player. However, no one was in any of the rooms. You going to have another Gameshow night Pasta?

Right, it doesn’t work in Safari at all…but works great in just about any other browser. Opera has the best Flash support on the Mac…no lag at all.

Yeah thats something I think we’ll set up down the line here. I just have to find a night where I have the time to commit to it.

We have posted a new launchof GameShow that does not require a new download. This has a dynamic leveling system in it to make it easier for people who may not be subject matter experts.
Also we have put the power-ups on ice for now to rework them to help balance the community.
I encourage you to try it.
Thanks
